During President Joe Biden’s press conference last week after the release of a report on his mishandling of classified documents that mentioned the president’s “significantly limited” memory, Biden attacked special counsel Robert Hur over the section of the report detailing the president’s inability to recall when his son, Beau, died.

Addressing the claims that he could not remember when his son passed away, Biden slammed Hur for questioning him on the subject in the first place, asking, “How in the hell dare he raise that?” and saying, “It wasn’t any of their damn business.”

According to a Wednesday NBC News report, Hur never asked that question. Instead, Biden was the one who brought up his son’s death during the interview.

The president first mentioned Beau — who passed in 2015 after a battle with brain cancer — after investigators asked him about a period he spent at a rented house in Virginia while working on a memoir with a ghostwriter. Hur’s team questioned Biden on the memoir because of a 2017 recording in which the president told the ghostwriter he encountered “classified stuff” in the house.

The NBC report, citing “two people familiar with Hur’s five-hour interview with the president over two days last October,” holds that it was upon being asked about his time in Virginia that Biden could not accurately pinpoint the year Beau died.

After the publication of the report and Biden’s subsequent press conference, the topic of the president’s age and mental acuity have remained topics of discussion among media members and elected officials on both sides of the political aisle. An ABC News/Ipsos poll conducted in the days following the Hur report’s release and the president’s remarks found that 86 percent of Americans — and 73 percent of Democrats — believe Biden is too old to serve another term in the White House. With news outlets devoting significant airtime and print space to coverage of the president’s age and the issues it may bring, White House spokesman Ian Sams wrote a letter to members of the White House Correspondents Association Tuesday evening asking reporters to adjust their coverage.

After Biden’s press conference, Vice President Kamala Harris described the Hur report as “politically motivated,” saying its characterization of the president’s memory “could not be more wrong on the facts” and adding that the two-day interview came just after Hamas’s October 7 attack on Israel.

“It was an intense moment for the commander in chief of the United States of America,” Harris said.
